<p>Module::CoreList::Utils - what utilities shipped with versions of perl</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS"><a class="permalink" href="./Module::CoreList::Utils.html#SYNOPSIS">#</a>SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>use Module::CoreList::Utils;

print $Module::CoreList::Utils::utilities{5.009003}{ptar}; # prints 1

print Module::CoreList::Utils-&gt;first_release(&#39;corelist&#39;);

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION"><a class="permalink" href="./Module::CoreList::Utils.html#DESCRIPTION">#</a>DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>Module::CoreList::Utils provides information on which core and dual-life utilities shipped with each version of <a href="perl.html">perl</a>.</p>

<p>It provides a number of mechanisms for querying this information.</p>

<p>There is a functional programming API available for programmers to query information.</p>

<p>Programmers may also query the contained hash structure to find relevant information.</p>

<h1 id="FUNCTIONS-API"><a class="permalink" href="./Module::CoreList::Utils.html#FUNCTIONS-API">#</a><a id="FUNCTIONS"></a>FUNCTIONS API</h1>

<p>These are the functions that are available, they may either be called as functions or class methods:</p>

<pre><code>Module::CoreList::Utils::first_release(&#39;corelist&#39;); # as a function

Module::CoreList::Utils-&gt;first_release(&#39;corelist&#39;); # class method</code></pre>

<dl>
